Bird House Becomes A Home

This bird house was painted by my 13 year-old daughter, and we've had it up for over 3 years. This is the first that I've seen birds it this one. It's hanging at the edge of our back patio, and the birds don't seem to mind me out there. These birds are so tiny.

I believe these birds are House Wrens. Their song is so beautiful to listen to.

Blog Award:

Nancy at Little Homestead in Boise, gave my blog the "One Lovely Blog Award." I normally don't pass these on, but wanted to pass this one on.

To receive it, I need to mention 7 random things about myself, and pass it onto other blogs. 7 random things:

1.I love Christmas and love making Christmas ornaments

2.I drink too much coffee

3.When talking, I tend to repeat myself often (just ask the kids)

4.I've traveled to the Bahamas, Argentina, Spain, and Africa. I have also traveled to Hawaii, Florida, Kansas City (on both borders), Washington, D.C. Indiana, Michigan, Chicago, IL, West Virginia, and Toronto, Canada.5.I love putting chocolate syrup in my rootbeer.

Yes those are house wrens-they have the most beautiful songs in the am but watch out when you get too close to the nest they will scold you like crazy! No head diving like the swallows just very much chewing you out for being too close! I love them! They will only build a nest there if the hole is small enough for no other birds to get in! But they will come back every year!

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Matt 6:25-27 NIV
